Transportation - Highway User Revenues Capital Grants - Calculation

SB 288 adjusts how Maryland calculates capital grants distributed from highway user revenues to local governments. It increases Baltimore City's share from 8.3% to 12.2% starting in fiscal year 2026, raises county allocations from 4.8% to 15.2% beginning in 2027, and modifies municipal percentages (to 3.0% then 2.4% after 2027). These changes apply to funds in the Gasoline and Motor Vehicle Revenue Account, which includes fuel taxes and vehicle-related fees. The bill directly affects Baltimore City, counties, and municipalities receiving transportation capital grants.
